📋 About This Mod

Patches Kamikaze1's mod Dragons Awaken with Ancient Falmer Ruins, Arena, Cutting Room Floor, Deadly Dragon Lair Locations, and Ryn's Dragon Mo. Removes duplicate map markers.

Ancient Falmer Ruins patch: Unlike vanilla dragon lairs, undead Falmer and the dragon were both present at Ancient's Avalanche regardless of main quest progression. The undead Falmer will now only be there until "Dragon Rising" is completed, and the dragon (who has a name now) won't show up until after. There are two versions of this patch for ArxVallium's mod: Arena and No Arena.

Arena patch:

  • []Dragons Awaken prevents dragons from respawning by placing them in NoResetZone, which has a minimum level of 1. All dragons in Skyrim except the first one will use a new NoResetZone with a minimum level of 20.

    []Since Arena makes Solstheim encounter zones 5 levels higher than normal, dragons there will use a new NoResetZone with a minimum level of 25.

    []The two dragons in the Forgotten Vale will use a new NoResetZone with a minimum level of 30.

    []This patch has to load after the other ones, which is why there are two versions: one that includes changes from Atlas Map Markers, for those using the Duplicate Map Marker Remover, and one that doesn't, for those who aren't.

    []The four dragons that Alduin resurrects will now use Dragons Awakens' DragonBoss leveled list. Since Dragons Awaken adds a dragon that attacks Kynesgrove from the south (it's enabled after you learn Ro), Sahloknir has been added to DragonNoResetZone so he won't be the weaker of the two dragons you have to fight for that quest.

    []Shearpoint is now classified as a dragon priest lair so that Krosis won't be weaker than all of the other named dragon priests if using mods that make them scale with player level. Dragon-related radiant quests will no longer send you here. Instead, Tolfdir has a chance to send you here for the master Alteration quest.

    Cutting Room Floor patch: Combines both mods' changes to the Frost River Farm location.

    Duplicate Map Marker Remover:

    • []Galgana made a patch for Delphine's Map Reveals Dragon Mounds that "redirects map marker references learned through Delphine's Map to use Atlas Map Markers SE." Since that patch has open permissions, I expanded it to also disable the map markers from Dragons Awaken, including the ones on Solstheim.

      []An alternative version is available for those who don't use Atlas Map Markers. It disables the fifteen map markers from DMRDM that Dragons Awaken has an equivalent for, and renames the other seven for consistency.

      []AMM version: Renamed Odahviing's Dragon Mound to Lost Tongue Pass Dragon Mound and Autumnshade Woods Dragon Mound to Odahviing's Dragon Mound, according to the UESP page on dragon mounds. Fixed as of AMM version 3. 0. 0

      Deadly Dragon Lair Locations AIO patch (requires USSEP):

      []Combines both mods' changes to two of the vanilla dragon refs. There are two versions of this patch: Arena and No Arena. If you're using the Arena version, load this aft
